    Jack Bauer is heading to Africa after all. The original proposed story for 24's seventh season was for Jack to begin in Africa (doing something, that part was never clear) and then heading back to the States for the meat of the season. This would have been a big departure, as it would have been the first time 24 bucked the twenty-four straight hours formula. FOX had no problem with the concept, but they nixed the idea for budgetary reasons. The ramifications of this decision by the FOX brass was major – production on 24's seventh season was delayed for weeks and, as a result, was eventually delayed a whole year because of the writers strike. It's unclear whether 24 could have finished the season in time for this Spring regardless, but it's a possibility. Today, 24 executive producer Manny Coto revealed the setting for the 24 two-hour prequel movie which will air on FOX Sunday, November 23: Jack is going to Africa.

    The 24 prequel takes place in between the end of season 6 and the beginning of season 7. Coto explains:

    "[Jack's] a soul in turmoil and has been moving from place to place trying to find somewhere he can be at peace. But he winds up in Africa in the middle of a military coup."

    Awesome. I was always excited at the prospect of Jack abroad, embroiled in a non-US government situation. This has the makings for a great Die Hard-style movie. In fact, it probably works better as a film outside of a proper 24 season then as a part of season 7. The Africa situation will lead right into the events of season 7. Jack learns that he's been subpoenaed and his presence is required back in Washington. He doesn't want to go, but eventually does, and that is where season 7 will begin.

    As for season 7, there are also some new tidbits regarding Tony Almeida's involvement. While in Washington, FBI agent Renee Walker asks Jack for help investigating some terrorist attacks that were possibly instigated by former partner Tony Almeida, who Jack believed was dead. Explains Coto: "Jack Bauer is under Senate investigation for crimes against humanity. Jack's thrust into this mystery of how Tony is still alive, and why is he trying to bring down this country?"

    Due to the delay of Season 7, which won't debut until January 2009, the producers of 24 are currently developing a 2-hour TV movie that will air sometime in the Fall. The TV movie will act as a prequel to bridge the gap in between Day 6 and 7.

    Previously, the prequels (that started with season 4) only were around 10 minutes in length and appeared on the DVD boxed sets. It's also likely the prequel will have to break the real-time format to be able to tell a story that will explain what happens in between the seasons.

    The writers strike is officially over, but it seems 24 won't be making a return until January 2009, which would make a 19-month gap in between Seasons 6 and 7. Writer David Fury has gone on to say, "24 works best 24 hours in a row. I don’t think we’ll see it until 2009." FOX has not made an official statement that the show will not return this year, but multiple media sources (TV Guide, IGN, Variety) have stated we won't be seeing the show until next year.

    Update: FOX has officially pushed Season 7's debut to January 2009 as they have finally updated the official 24 site saying Season 7 will premiere in January 2009.

      Feb 13 2008 - Joel Surnow Leaves 24
      
    Co-creator/executive producer/writer Joel Surnow will be leaving the series effectively immediately. He asked to be released from his contract early with 20th Century Fox, which wasn't up until April 30 of this year. Surnow did work on the first eight episodes of Season 7, but will not be involved past that.

    "Joel created one of the landmark series of this decade in 24 and his contribution to its creative excellence over the years has been immeasurable," Fox says in a statement. "While he leaves the show in the incredibly capable hands of the talented Howard Gordon, his input will always be welcome."

      Jan 27 2008 - 10 + 14 = 24?
      
    From IGN:

      There's been no official word as to the fate of 24 ever since the writers' strike began. While the hit series was supposed to premiere in January, it was moved to an as-yet undisclosed later date, with only eight episodes produced so far for Season 7. Now, TV Guide's Michael Ausiello is reporting that the show may return to the air in a 10 to 14 episode run in the fall which would tell a complete story, and then come back later next spring with another 10 or 14 episodes that would tell a separate story. Our own sources have also confirmed this as a real possibility. These two "mini-seasons" are viewed as extreme measures since it affects the show's traditional format of airing 24 episodes without interruption. However, as Ausiello reported, proponents argue that "these are desperate times."

      If 24 were to be completely pushed to next year, that would make it a year and a half with no Jack Bauer. And the last season was a dreary one, not well liked by fans or critics. In fact, in the run up to the aborted premiere of Season 7, the series' creators spent some time telling the press (and fans) that they were unhappy with Season 6 and planned to do better. With some of the casting news, such as Cherry Jones as a woman president, and the return of Tony Almeida, fans are eagerly awaiting what promises to be a strong return for Bauer and company.

    Executive producers Jon Cassar, Evan Katz, Manny Coto, and David Fury appeared at Comic-Con '07 to discuss the upcoming seventh season. They announced that show will take place in Washington, D.C. and CTU has been disbanded by the government, though it could still exist in an underground state. They explain the season will start with Jack Bauer appearing before the Senate Committee to answer questions about his questionable actions in the past. They also hint at the fact that beloved character Tony Almeida who was killed in season 5 might not actually be dead. Since they revealed an alternate ending to season 6 that had Tony coming up to Jack in the final scene. And Cassar also mentioned that the season 6 DVD will not feature a Day 7 prequel, which has been a tradition among the past three seasons' DVDs.

    It was reported early here that the President for the new season would be a female. There were rumors that Geena Davis, who played the President on the television series, Commander in Chief, would play the female President on 24. Well now, those have been proven false since Tony award winner Cherry Jones has been cast. She's appeared in such recent films as Signs, The Village, and Ocean's Twelve.

    Production for the upcoming seventh season of 24 has been delayed by approximately 3 weeks due to a last minute change in the storyline. They were planning on shooting a number of episodes in Africa, but the network decided it would be way too costly. The producers tried to find a location in Los Angeles that could sub for Africa. The idea was ditched shortly after, meaning they had to start over with a new concept.

    The show usually starts its production in late July, but now it's been pushed to mid-August. It's currently unknown if the production delay will effect when the season debuts in January 2008.

    With Season 7 set to launch in January 2008, details are quite scarce, but some information has been revealed. Let's take a look at what we know so far.

    At the moment, only Kiefer Sutherland (Jack Bauer) and Mary Lynn Rajskub (Chloe O'Brian) have officially been signed on for next season. It's doubtful any other Season 6 regulars will return due to the drastic change in the show and that the writers are planning on bringing a lot of new faces in.

    In a TV Guide interview, co-executive producer Manny Coto says: "Jack [Kiefer Sutherland] starts next season in a very different place than any season so far. Let's put it this way: I wouldn't be surprised if there's no CTU next year. CTU has become almost too comfortable, you know? 'We need to carry out this operation - Chloe, grab Satellite X and get us a feed!' That's gone. We're pulling the rug out from under our characters. It's a pretty radical shift - a totally different context with a totally different villain. There will not be a ticking clock on a nuclear device. We're hewing much closer to real life: tighter, more personal, more difficult for Jack. There may even be a plot thread that doesn't take place on U.S. soil. In a sense, it's a reboot - in location and personnel. We're going to be introducing a new stable of characters, along with a couple of old ones. Jack's not living under an alias. He's found a place he thinks he belongs and a job he enjoys doing that doesn't involve the government. What's also refreshing is the choice of villain: It's not a Muslim terrorist. In fact, it's not a terrorist at all. And the character is fascinating, someone with a supremely dark past who's done something horrific and whose ambition is to regain his stature in the world. I just can't say enough how exciting it is. It's going to be pretty damn cool."

    In an interview with writer/executive producer Michael Loceff, he says, "Next season expect smaller story lines for the characters, including Jack. Loceff adds "and how he tries to resolve a particularly thorny conflict in the final episode."

    And, in a TV Guide Exclusive, it's looking like they're planning on appointing a female president for the new season, which would be a first for the show. Also, it's been said they'll be adding a female FBI agent as well.

    Stay tuned for further Season 7 news as it becomes known.

    With the sixth season to conclude next Monday, FOX has ordered two more seasons of the real-time drama. Kiefer Sutherland already inked a deal last year to stay with the show through May 2009.

    Executive Producer Howard Gordon says, "We're re-creating the series" and that "It is going to be a real-time thriller. Beyond that, it's an open book."

    Also, with the seventh season most likely to shake things up, only Kiefer Sutherland is currently set to return. It's likely only a few cast members from the current season will return, possibly in different roles. As the producers are planning on taking it to a new location, since the series has taken place in Los Angeles the past six seasons.

    24 - Season Six [Movie]
      
      
    Most fans will agree that the current Season of 24 has been quite disappointing and hasn't come close to the Emmy award-winning fifth season. The sixth day started off with a bang, with a nuclear bomb, but could never top what happened at the end of the fourth hour.

    It seems the writers were listening to the criticism from the fans about the current nuclear bomb storyline and wrapped it up quite early, at the end of episode 17. The season then moved onto the storyline of the rescue of Jack's lover, Audrey Raines, who was held captive by the Chinese.

    24 producer, David Fury, admits the flaws of the current Season by stating, "This is year six on the show... you try to keep things interesting, find new ways to tell the story, and unfortunately we wound up repeating ourselves somewhat."

    Though he still believes it's one of the best things on television, despite the quality drop. He also discusses the writing style of the show, "In the early seasons of 24, [the writers tried] to map out stories and arc out stories [beforehand] a little bit more than they did, say in seasons four and five, and four and five turned out to be two of most successful seasons. It just so happens that maybe this year it's caught up with us."

    For next year, he says the writers will use both methods of writing styles that they've used in the past.

    "[Seasons four and five] were two seasons where we were just winging [the writing]," Fury said. "As for as next year, I think you are going to see a little bit more of a mixture of those approaches. We're going to figure out a little bit more, so we don't find ourselves running into [the same problems as season six]. They'll be a little more groundwork done. We're already talking about next season, and we've got a lot of great things planned."

    Co-Creator Howard Gordon plans to reinvent the show for next year, he says, "It hurts to hear the criticism. It's been a challenging season to write... but it's reinvigorated our determination to reinvent the show. This year could be... the last iteration of its current state."

    So, what does Season 7 hold in store for us? Moving out of Los Angeles, dropping CTU, having a more small-scale plot? We're alll hoping for a much-improved 24 next year.

How do you feel about the delay of Day 7 to January 2009?
More time to make it the best season yet!
Not bothered, I can wait.
A year and a half hiatus between seasons? I'm never going to make it!
